DNA model chips

thingiverse

Students can learn DNA and RNA quickly by making their own simplified model chips at home or in the classroom. These interactive model chips allow learners to join, stack, and twist fine wires to represent the basic structure of both nucleic acids. When handling these tactile models, students pick up new concepts fast. To enhance student learning, consider printing each DNA chip component - adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil - in distinct colors to distinguish between the individual nucleotide entities easily. Please keep in mind that this simplified model omits many crucial details for a full representation of DNA's structure. Educators use these visual aids to help explain the process of reproduction and gene information transfer effectively. Those interested in a detailed worksheet and comprehensive teaching plan should feel free to send an email request. These materials are valuable tools for any student studying genetic concepts.
